OK, GM tie-in, so I'll guess Chevy Nubira?

To be replaced by the Passat for 90, an even more troublesome car that is virtually extinct on NA roads now.
VW is funny, no? They have both extremes. Haters with a bad previous experience, and rabidly loyal fans.
There seems to be no middle ground among the VW owners I've met.
I'd roll the dice on a US built new Passat, but many of the others scare me.
And both of those cost a lot less, and have better tech. Passat doesn't even have a backup cam.
Wagon's also gone.
The only real advantage is the excellent range, and Altima is still close.
I suspect actual transaction prices on a loaded Passat vs EX-L aren't too far off. But neither are the fuel costs, and the latter will have lower maintenance I am sure.

Did they take off the limit on how many could be in one post?

Possibly a Reliant Scimitar, but not sure of model. Proof that Reliant could makes something more than awful three wheelers

I'm more familiar with the Scimitar GTE, which I believe was more commonplace>
None of the Reliants were ever imported here and I have never even seen one.

You are better than me on the models. Somewhere in the depths of my memory there is some story of a connection between the Scimitar GTE and the Volvo 1800P. Ogle designed the GTE (and also the Reliant Robin and Bond Bug).
The Scimitar GTE was vaguely famous in Britain as Princess Anne was given one for her 20th birthday and then replaced it with several later models (some reports suggest eight in total); she is a notoriously quick driver, as speeding tickets and press coverage attest. We would occasionally see her driving too fast when we lived near Gatcombe Park in the 1990s

The Daimler's little V8 is the same one used in the SP250/Dart roadster.

In general, Daimlers were slightly better finished than their Jaguar counterparts. For the 250 V8, this extended to a walnut dash and full instrumentation and I think slightly fancier leather interior.
In general terms, Daimler models attracted a price premium because they were seen as more exclusive. I seem to remember this was about GBP10,000 by 1990.
The engine was about 50kg lighter than the 3.2l Jaguar 6 and the stance of the car is different if you see them side by side. I have a vague recollection that springs and dampers might be different as well.
They came standard with an auto transmission. I have a couple of mates who are mad keen Jaguar fanciers and could tell me all the differences; however my eyes would glaze over first!

Well I can place the year as 1956 from the double bill at the theatre.
Cheers

1954 Plymouth with a 1953 model parked close behind it. 1956 Buick further back. Other cars look too grainy. Looks like what might be a 1955 Ford among them.
Other side of street: 1955 Mercury, 1955 Buick.

By golly, you are finding the oddballs. That is a Humber Super Snipe Estate, I guess from mid 1960's. Tail-lights vary by year and this was before the last versions which I think ran up to about 1970
They were fitted with raised rooves and used as ambulances in Australia, assembled at a plant near my present office.
A great uncle had a sedan until the late 1970's. They were very posh for their time.
